Common Questions
Upload Custom Images
Custom images give you additional ways to express your creativity, showcase your content, and make your stories more personal to you. It’s fun to see how custom images can be used to bring your content to life!
How to Upload Custom Cover Images
To upload a custom cover image for Scenarios or Adventures, click or tap on the three dots ··· in the upper corner of a content card and select ‘Edit’. You can also click or tap on the content card itself and select ‘Edit’ from the content view screen.
From the ‘Details’ tab, use the pencil icon to open the cover image library. Use the ‘Upload’ option in the upper left corner of this popup and follow the on-screen instructions. On mobile, the ‘Upload’ button may take a few seconds to appear. It may also take a few moments to update the image after uploading, or require a refresh.
You can also upload a custom cover image for an Adventure while playing it!
Open an Adventure in the game screen, click or tap on the gear icon in the top right corner, and select the ‘Details’ tab under ‘Adventure’. Then use the pencil icon to open the cover image library, select the ‘Upload’ option in the upper left corner, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Recommended Upload Requirements
We suggest uploading images no smaller than 300x250 pixels. Images may be automatically resized for our various platforms (mobile versus desktop, app versus web), so we encourage using images with the subject center frame, as the sides could be cut off.
New accounts under 24 hours may be blocked from uploading images, to prevent spam and abuse. We appreciate your patience and understanding in that regard!
Moderating Custom Images
To ensure a safe and respectful environment for all our players, all image uploads will undergo moderation through Hive (https://thehive.ai)—a trusted technology we've successfully implemented in other features such as Safe Mode.
If you publish content using a custom image, the image (and your content) will also be automatically rated by our AI Rating Checker, which will assign it a rating.
We've also revised our content publishing guidelines to include specifics for custom images. You can read the updated guidelines here →
Why run the image through HIVE and a Rating Checker?
HIVE catches the obvious, like full nudity or gore, and prevents it from being uploaded at all. Meanwhile, the Rating Checker just makes sure that the rating matches the tone of the image—it can also block images if they subtly break the Community Guidelines in ways HIVE couldn’t detect.
HIVE is basically a safety net that makes it so the Rating Checker doesn’t have to be ran as often.
As we roll out this feature, we're adopting a cautious approach to image moderation. Your feedback is crucial, and we plan to iteratively improve this feature based on your insights and the data we collect. As a small team, we're leaning heavily on automated moderation, but we're always here to listen and adjust. We encourage all players to be mindful of our guidelines when uploading images and report any content the Hive filter may have missed.
Thanks to all of you for the feedback you shared with us about images. The demand for a broader and more relevant range of images was a consistent theme in your suggestions. Custom image uploads is a direct response to your feedback, and we believe that adding the ability to personalize your content with fun, relevant images will create a richer experience for everyone.
For any concerns or questions regarding image moderation, please feel free to direct message ata523100 or matu on our Discord server. Your input is invaluable in shaping a more engaging and enjoyable gaming experience in AI Dungeon. Together, we can make this new custom image feature an enjoyable update for the entire community!
